I receive traffic alerts on my cell phone. The “from” field of the text message is from “bounce-#####-#####@listserv01.thruway.state.ny.us” (##### denotes a numeric number), why?
When the Authority sends traffic alert emails, the “from” field is specified as Traffic@thruway.state.ny.us. Depending on the mobile service provider, when the traffic alert email message is converted into a text message format to be displayed on a cell phone, some providers choose to ignore the Authority’s “from” field and use another field that is embedded in the email message.
